A little while ago, I found out that a friend of a friend was a pistol instructor*, and he offered to give me the handbook he uses in class to see if I’d like to train with him some time. I read through it, and, well, I wasn’t impressed. Nothing in it professed anything I… Read More »
Just need to say that if you’re in the need for a well built and good looking custom holster, or need a gun shop in the Oak Ridge, TN area, I’d recommend Dennis at Dragon Leatherworks. Not only does he have good prices (his baseline custom holsters are about what you’d pay for baseline mass… Read More »
Last weekend, WizardPC and I went to the local state run rifle range. While I’ve been keeping up with my pistol shooting, I have to admit that I let my rifles collect dust. He had recently inherited a Winchester 30-30 recently, and needed to try out his new .300blk AR with suppressor. I will have… Read More »
I’m sure most of you know about the guy that got shot for waving a gun (which turned out to be a BB gun) around at the US Capitol last week. Turns out that the man was a “minister” from my neck of the woods, and our local paper ran a front page article on… Read More »

The thing the guy centered on? That apparently semi-autos are apparently too… Read More »
Headline: “Naked Man With A Gun Shoots Up A Quiet Neighborhood” (beware, the link autoplays a video about the NHL Allstar game in Nashville for… reasons) Summery: Naked man running around in in the middle of the afternoon waving a gun around and shooting at random. Cops show up, and, in a remarkable show of… Read More »
Earlier this week, I was driving down the road and listening to NPR when On the Media came on. This week, they’ve decided to take on the issue of gun violence with all the non-biased reporting that you’d expect from them. Conveniently, they break their show notes down in chapters, so I’ll touch each one.… Read More »
Some of you may remember that I have been in the market for a Beretta Bobcat for a while. Especially after a certain incident at last year’s NRAAM steered me away from Taurus’ PT-22. Unfortunately, it seemed like the moment I decided to buy one, the supply dried up. I was even told by a… Read More »
As seen on Facebook from a liberal friend who used to be anti-gun in reference to a Huffington Post article entitled “If Guns Are So Good, Invite ‘Em to GOP Rallies“: As a skeptic, I have to reconsider my prejudices that I may have been taught earlier in life and review the evidence. The fact… Read More »
Went to a gun show today, and couldn’t resist it. I finally bought a Glock. I have to admit that the capacity is a bit low, and I haven’t figured out how to reload it yet.
